What

Per-item token attribution needs every actor's transitions to say which FSM item they acted on, at the moment they act. This PR adds that record — the touch ledger — and folds it into metrics/runs.jsonl:

  • fsm-touches.jsonl (install dir, committed by the refresh tick): one typed JSON line per successful mutating transition, appended by the transition itself inside pr-review-report, whoever invoked it. Record: {ts, actor, runId?, repo, number, kind, action, verb?, closes?, reworkOf?}. Actor identity comes from env (FSM_TOUCH_ACTOR/FSM_TOUCH_RUN_ID, exported by both runners — the RUN_LENS_LEDGER channel); nothing exported = interactive, never a guess. Best-effort append: an unwritable ledger is one stderr line, never a failed transition. Dry-run/refused transitions append nothing.
  • Covered at-source (post-success in the shared *_apply fns, so CLI and MCP surfaces both record): record-verdict, record-close-candidate-verdict, open-pr, push, repair-qa-block, weaken-closes, flag-close-candidate, flag-state (incl. design + blocked-on), send-back (draft/conflict), clear-blocked-on, human-rule, human-rule-issue, human-close, deploy, design-doctor-route, retire-blocked-infra.
  • runs.jsonl rows gain touched[] — the ledger's records for that runId, folded per (repo, number, kind, action, verb) with a count; always present ([] = touched nothing), touchedSource: "ledger". Each agents[] row gains its own touched derived from the trace by parent_tool_use_id — the same key spend is grouped by, so touches join to the tokens of the actor that made them.
  • Backfill: backfill-metrics now adds touched + touchedSource: "trace" to historical rows whose trace survives (typed MCP tool_use/result extraction, non-error result required). Traceless rows carry no touched — absence, never a zero.
  • Landings are first-class actions (ruling: "the fsm should always move through the tooling…"): human-close/close is the tool-mediated terminal edge, and the new ledger-gh PostToolUse hook records the bare-gh paths from gh's own evidence — open-pr-gh (create; URL-evidenced, same created_pr_ref the tool trusts) and the landing verbs merge-pr-gh / close-pr-gh / close-issue-gh (lexed-argv subject + gh's ✓ success token; fail-closed on both). Contract note: landed-history will be re-derived from these records plus the doctor's sweep of terminal items still wearing FSM labels — the snapshot-diffing approach in feat(metrics): landed-history.jsonl — the landed-work denominator feed #277 is superseded by that follow-up; this PR's action vocabulary is what that rework builds on. (The doctor sweep itself is NOT in this PR.)
  • Rework lineage: open_pr takes optional rework_of (+rework_of_kind) — the previously landed item whose shipped defect the PR reworks — recorded typed as reworkOf, at filing time only, never inferred by blame/bisect. Delivered cost of X = X's lifetime touches + rework chains rooted at X (documented in README; computation is a consumer's job). campaign-prompt.txt instructs the producer to pass it only when the causal item is known at diagnosis.

Documented-absent (measured or structural, never guessed)

  • Bash-invoked CLI transitions get run-level ledger records but no agent-level attribution: parsing shell strings out of traces invents work items (Tokens to land work: open_pr as a typed transition, and the metric it makes possible #175's own measurement).
  • A bare gh pr merge/close naming its subject only via the cwd (no -R, no URL) records nothing; the doctor sweep is the backstop.
  • human_close is absent from trace-derived touches (its subject input doesn't carry the resolved population; the ledger record does).
  • Issues filed outside the tool surface carry no lineage until filing moves behind a subcommand.

Deployment

  • Refresh tick stages fsm-touches.jsonl only once it exists (a missing pathspec is fatal to git add); .gitignore allow-list entry added.
  • Runner env exports ship in this PR; the tick after merge runs them.
  • ledger-gh needs one PostToolUse wiring line in the user settings.json, beside require-qa-block (post-merge, same deployment the QA gate had).

QA

  • Discriminating tests: 16 new touch_ledger_tests (actor_kind_is_typed…, a_record_carries_identity…, closes_and_lineage_ride_the_record_typed, ledger_touch_appends_a_line_the_fold_reads_back, the_fold_filters_by_run_dedupes_by_identity…, the_fold_unions_closes_and_keeps_the_first_lineage…, a_typed_input_call_with_a_clean_result…, an_error_result_an_unknown_tool_and_a_resultless_call_contribute_nothing, an_open_pr_result_is_the_record_and_carries_its_lineage, a_retried_open_pr_keeps_the_first_lineage_it_named, the_folded_view_sums_counts_across_actors, only_a_visible_pr_create_counts_as_one, the_recorder_trusts_ghs_own_url_and_nothing_else, a_landing_records_as_a_landing_evidenced_by_ghs_success_line, the_final_row_carries_the_ledgers_fold_and_each_agents_trace_touches, a_backfilled_row_says_its_touches_came_from_the_trace) — each fails on base (the functions under test do not exist there; every mutation run re-proved the suite executes: 15–16 ran per run).
  • Mutations applied: 12/12 killed — unknown-actor→producer-run → actor_kind…; fold-ignores-runId → the_fold_filters_by_run…; fold-never-counts → same; fold-drops-verb-identity → the_fold_unions… (two verdicts stay two transitions); record-drops-runId → a_record_carries_identity…; trace-counts-errors → an_error_result…contribute_nothing; landing-ignores-evidence → a_landing_records… (refused merge is not a landing); landing-guesses-repo → same (bare merge = absence); row-mislabels-source → the_final_row…; backfill-mislabels-source → a_backfilled_row…; agent-touches-wrong-key → the_final_row…; lineage-last-wins → a_retried_open_pr_keeps_the_first_lineage_it_named (added to kill the round-1 survivor).
  • Oracle: the record contract as documented in README §"Which FSM items were touched" (written first, tests assert it); gh's own output formats (created_pr_ref — the same parser open_pr already trusts in production — and gh's ✓ success tokens, fail-closed if gh rewords); trace fixtures mirror the structured tool_use/tool_result shapes of real retained traces; FSM action names come from TRANSITIONS.md's own transition vocabulary.
  • Category check: brief asks run-level touched records, agent-level attribution, at-source typed capture through the tool chokepoint, bypass-path coverage, historical backfill, rework lineage, landing-typed actions; covered all seven. Full suite green (1294 unit incl. the 16 new; all 9 integration suites), cargo fmt clean, clippy clean on changed code (one pre-existing warning in untouched code under the local clippy, which is newer than CI's rainix pin), shellcheck clean on all three edited scripts.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a1d8e

This PR adds touch-ledger records and folds them into run and agent metrics, but concurrent runs may receive each other’s touches and GitHub landing records may be attributed to the wrong item. Additional lineage and comment-format inconsistencies remain, so the change is not merge-ready until these bounded correctness and integration issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

In `@pr-review-report-rs/src/main.rs`:
- Around line 6704-6715: Move the TouchBlock struct and its associated
documentation above the documentation comment for final_record, so each comment
and attribute binds to its intended item. Remove the misplaced
#[allow(clippy::too_many_arguments)] attached to TouchBlock, while retaining the
single appropriate attribute on final_record.
- Around line 4665-4676: Update the touch-ledger handling around run_touches and
its ledger-writing/commit flow to prevent unbounded growth: introduce
period-based rotation or retention aligned with trace retention, and ensure
run_touches folds the active period plus any required prior period so recent run
touch data remains available.
- Around line 4927-4949: Update trace_touches_folded to merge lineage fields
when matching entries are folded: union the closes values and retain the first
non-null reworkOf, mirroring fold_touches. Apply this alongside count
aggregation so HashMap iteration order cannot change the resulting trace shape.
- Around line 4696-4702: Update the `record_close_candidate_verdict` entry to
treat its subject kind as unresolvable, matching the existing `human_close`
handling, because the input may represent either a PR or an issue. Ensure
trace-derived records do not hard-code `TouchSubject::Issue`; resolve the kind
from the result if supported, otherwise use the same unresolved-kind
representation as `human_close`.
- Around line 4550-4563: Update the touch-ledger append closure around write so
it serializes the complete line, including its trailing newline, into an
in-memory buffer before opening the file and appending. Replace direct writeln!
formatting to the unbuffered file with a single write operation for that buffer,
preserving directory creation, O_APPEND behavior, and existing warning handling.
- Around line 35296-35317: Rename the local `closes` array binding in the
pull-request handling flow to `closed_set`, and update its references in
`FsmTouch` and the output JSON. Preserve the existing array contents and
behavior while distinguishing it from the `Option<u64>` parameter named
`closes`.
- Around line 76628-76648: Serialize all tests that mutate or indirectly use
FSM_TOUCH_* environment variables, including
ledger_touch_appends_a_line_the_fold_reads_back and tests invoking
human_rule_pr_apply, behind one shared mutex to prevent parallel ledger access.
Remove any unsafe claim associated with these environment mutations under
edition 2021, and ensure the guard covers the entire environment setup, ledger
operation, and cleanup; alternatively pass an explicit ledger identity through
the affected APIs.

In `@README.md`:
- Around line 3031-3036: Update the README’s reworkOf lineage documentation to
define when a closed issue linked by close-issue-gh or a merged PR’s closes
relationship qualifies as the landed causal root, and state that the same
issue-root rule applies consistently to all cost consumers. Preserve the
existing at-source capture rule and prohibition on post-hoc inference.

…ally failed on

`static / rs-static` was red on its `pre-commit run --all-files` step, not on
`rainix-rs-static`: the failing hook is `denofmt`, and the diff it printed was
the README prose this PR added (wrapped at ~76 cols, deno's canonical width is
80) plus the `ledger-gh` row's cell padding in TRANSITIONS.md. Neither
`cargo fmt --check` nor `cargo clippy -D warnings` reproduces it — both were
already clean, which is why the two previous static fixes did not land it green.

Applied deno's own output, from the rainix rev CI pins
(53e96a7d0a97d7c7c75c3b2412521324776fdac6). All eleven hooks pass, and so does
`rainix-rs-static` on that same pinned toolchain.

The one hand edit: the ledger record example keeps its single line and takes a
```jsonl fence. deno fmt pretty-prints a ```json block across ten lines, which
contradicts the sentence directly above it ("one JSON line per successful
mutating transition") and misrepresents the JSONL file being documented. The
fence deno does not claim leaves the record readable as what it is.

Merged origin/main (6be7010) into the branch. Three conflicts, all resolved keeping both sides:

  • refresh-human-queue.sh — main added landed-history.jsonl (feat(metrics): landed-history.jsonl — the landed-work denominator feed #277) to the staged set, this PR added fsm-touches.jsonl. Both are staged now. Only the touch ledger takes an existence guard; landed-history.jsonl was seeded by feat(metrics): landed-history.jsonl — the landed-work denominator feed #277 so it is always present.

  • pr-review-report-rs/src/main.rs (two hunks, same shape) — main gave write_repaired_body a BodyRepair discriminant and a &detail argument; this PR appends a ledger_touch after each call. Resolved to main’s signature followed by this PR’s ledger block, for both repair-qa-block and weaken-closes.

  • campaign-prompt.txt — main’s prose with this PR’s REWORK LINEAGE clause re-inserted in compressed form, paid for by cutting retired-transition archaeology.

    One of those cuts went too far and the suite caught it: it dropped the sentence “There is no blocked-deploy state and no producer deploy any more”, which the_producer_prompt_routes_deploy_shaped_blocks_to_the_migration pins deliberately — the prompt has to say the state is dead rather than merely omit it, since omission lets a reader infer it might still exist. Restored, with the citation shortened to (#162/#221) to stay under the cap.

1546 tests pass, cargo fmt --check clean.

The pull_request run of 1171a27 failed two jobs on GitHub infrastructure,
not on code: rs-static and rs-test (macos-latest) both died fetching the
rainlanguage/rainix action/flake input (502 then 429), before running
anything. The push run of the identical sha passed all 21 checks.

Comment thread campaign-prompt.txt
A red, conflicting, stale-CI, or sent-back PR is NONE of these — it is your unfinished work, invisible to the human queue, and resolving it (green it, or convert its issue to (2)/(3)) outranks opening anything new.

COMMUNICATION CHANNEL — PR COMMENTS, NEVER ONLY THE LOCAL LOG: anything a human needs to see or decide lives as a comment ON THE AFFECTED PR (the humans work from GitHub; your local run log is an operational trace nobody reads). That means: every 3b HAND-OFF (state the failing check, the log evidence, and why you are handing off), every 3d abort (which files conflicted and why the sides are incompatible), every closing-keyword mismatch, and any blocked/needs-human state. A HAND-OFF IS A LABELED STATE TRANSITION, NOT A BARE NOTE: the pipeline is an FSM (README's "Pipeline state machine") and every hand-off moves the PR into exactly ONE modeled `ai:*` state via the tool, carrying your prose as that transition's REASON — never a standalone `Producer note:` that leaves the PR in no modeled state. Route each: a design/ruling question (incompatible options, a taken version slot, a spec ambiguity) → `pr-review-report flag-design <owner/repo> <n> "<reason>"`; a PR blocked waiting on another issue/PR — INCLUDING the deploy-shaped MIGRATION case of step 3b (iv), whose typed dep is the repo's lifecycle-migration issue/PR → `flag-blocked-on <owner/repo> <n> "<why>" --blocked-by <owner/repo#n>` (REPEAT `--blocked-by` for each dependency; the tool REFUSES a flag without at least one typed ref — the vetter's clearance check reads those refs, never your prose, and auto-clears the flag when every dep merges/closes); and ANYTHING you cannot classify into one of these states → `flag-design` with a free-text reason describing exactly what you saw (the total-function fallback — you must NEVER leave a PR in bare-prose limbo; a thing you cannot classify IS a question for a human, and `design` is the state that means the human must act). THE ROUTING TABLE IS NOT TOTAL, AND STOPPING IS A MOVE: `flag-blocked-infra` was RETIRED (#108). It parked PRs permanently on a condition that clears in minutes — thirteen ordinary PRs sat in it (a `pi` constant word, a staleness-overflow fix, a README fix), none of them infra problems — and as the catch-all it swallowed everything unclassifiable into the same permanent park. Infrastructure being down is a property of the MOMENT, not of a PR, so it gets NO label on ANY PR. See "WHEN THE ENVIRONMENT IS AGAINST YOU" below: you END THE RUN. A red prod-pin is the MIGRATION hand-off (3b (iv)), and a genuine transient flake remains an empty-commit retrigger — a transition, not a hand-off.

COMMUNICATION CHANNEL — PR COMMENTS, NEVER ONLY THE LOCAL LOG: anything a human needs to see or decide lives as a comment ON THE AFFECTED PR (the humans work from GitHub; your local run log is an operational trace nobody reads). That means: every 3b HAND-OFF (state the failing check, the log evidence, and why you are handing off), every 3d abort (which files conflicted and why the sides are incompatible), every closing-keyword mismatch, and any blocked/needs-human state. A HAND-OFF IS A LABELED STATE TRANSITION, NOT A BARE NOTE: the pipeline is an FSM (README's "Pipeline state machine") and every hand-off moves the PR into exactly ONE modeled `ai:*` state via the tool, carrying your prose as that transition's REASON — never a standalone `Producer note:` that leaves the PR in no modeled state. Route each: a design/ruling question (incompatible options, a taken version slot, a spec ambiguity) → `pr-review-report flag-design <owner/repo> <n> "<reason>"`; a PR blocked waiting on another issue/PR — INCLUDING the deploy-shaped MIGRATION case of step 3b (iv), whose typed dep is the repo's lifecycle-migration issue/PR → `flag-blocked-on <owner/repo> <n> "<why>" --blocked-by <owner/repo#n>` (REPEAT `--blocked-by` for each dependency; the tool REFUSES a flag without at least one typed ref — the vetter's clearance check reads those refs, never your prose, and auto-clears the flag when every dep merges/closes); and ANYTHING you cannot classify into one of these states → `flag-design` with a free-text reason describing exactly what you saw (the total-function fallback — you must NEVER leave a PR in bare-prose limbo; a thing you cannot classify IS a question for a human, and `design` is the state that means the human must act). THE ROUTING TABLE IS NOT TOTAL, AND STOPPING IS A MOVE: `flag-blocked-infra` was RETIRED (#108) for parking PRs permanently on a condition that clears in minutes. Infrastructure being down is a property of the MOMENT, not of a PR, so it gets NO label on ANY PR. See "WHEN THE ENVIRONMENT IS AGAINST YOU" below: you END THE RUN. A red prod-pin is the MIGRATION hand-off (3b (iv)), and a genuine transient flake remains an empty-commit retrigger — a transition, not a hand-off.

Use a process-unique run ID in both runners.

campaign.lock and review.lock do not serialize producer and vetter runs. fold_touches filters only by runId, so same-second $TS values cause each metrics row to include both runners’ touch records. Use one unique run ID for FSM_TOUCH_RUN_ID and every matching run-metrics --run-id.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Reuse the computed touch map instead of re-parsing the trace.

Line 6388 computes trace_touches(body). Line 6438 calls trace_touches_folded(body), which calls trace_touches(body) again. The backfill therefore parses and walks every event of each trace twice per row. Backfill runs over all historical rows, so the cost scales with the archive size.

Add a fold-from-map helper and call it with the map already in hand.

♻️ Proposed refactor: fold the map that already exists

Split the fold so the map can be supplied:

/// PURE: the run-level `touched` a per-actor map demonstrates.
fn fold_per_actor_touches(
    per_actor: &std::collections::HashMap<String, Vec<Value>>,
) -> Vec<Value> {
    // the current body of `trace_touches_folded`, minus the `trace_touches` call
}

fn trace_touches_folded(trace: &str) -> Vec<Value> {
    fold_per_actor_touches(&trace_touches(trace))
}

Then use the map at the call site:

     obj.insert(
         "touched".into(),
-        serde_json::json!(trace_touches_folded(body)),
+        serde_json::json!(fold_per_actor_touches(&touches)),
     );

Correct the comment, or verify the lineage ref.

The comment at Lines 36847-36848 states that the lineage is "Validated like every other ref — a lineage that cannot be looked up roots nothing". The code only parses the ref with parse_pr_ref. It performs no lookup and does not check that the item is landed. ReworkRef at Lines 5820-5823 also documents the target as "the previously LANDED item".

A mistyped or non-existent rework_of therefore reaches the ledger record at Line 39201 and the open_pr result at Line 39215. Attribution then roots cost at an item that does not exist, with no signal.

Choose one contract and state it exactly:

  • Add the lookup the comment claims, and refuse an unresolvable ref.
  • Or keep the parse-only guard and change the comment to say the ref is syntactic only.

gh pr merge gh issue close success output line wording "Merged pull request" "Closed issue"

💡 Result:

When executing successful operations with the GitHub CLI (gh), the output consistently uses a checkmark symbol followed by a confirmation message [1]. For the specified commands, the standard success output format is: 1. gh pr merge: Upon a successful merge, the output typically displays: ✔ Merged pull request # (<title>) [1] 2. gh issue close: When closing an issue, the output format is: ✔ Closed issue # [1][2] These success messages are rendered to standard output (stdout) by default, typically preceded by the green checkmark (✔) indicator [1][3]. Note that the exact string may vary slightly depending on the CLI version and whether additional flags (such as --delete-branch or --comment) are used, but the core "Merged pull request" and "Closed issue" wording remains standard for these operations [1][4][2].

site:github.com/cli/cli "Merged pull request" "Closed issue" gh pr merge gh pr close gh issue close output

💡 Result:

In the GitHub CLI (gh), the commands gh pr merge, gh pr close, and gh issue close serve distinct purposes for managing pull requests and issues. gh pr merge This command is used to merge a pull request into its base branch [1][2]. By default, a successful merge operation will close the pull request [3]. It supports various merge methods such as --squash, --rebase, or --merge [4]. Additionally, the --auto flag can be used to enable auto-merge, which schedules the pull request to be merged automatically once all required status checks pass [3][5]. Note that depending on the repository's configuration and specific GitHub environment, an auto-merged PR should also be closed upon completion [3]. gh pr close This command is used to close a pull request without merging it [1][2]. It requires the pull request number, URL, or branch name as an argument [1]. When closing a PR, you can often use additional flags, such as --comment to add a closing comment or --delete-branch to remove the head branch after closing [1][6]. gh issue close This command is used to close an issue [2]. Similar to gh pr commands, it generally requires the issue number or URL to specify which issue to close. Key differences and common usage: - Merging vs. Closing: gh pr merge is for incorporating changes, which typically results in the PR being closed [3]. gh pr close is for abandoning or discarding a PR without merging the changes [1]. - Automation: You can pipe results from commands like gh pr list into xargs to perform bulk operations, such as closing multiple stale pull requests or issues [7]. - Arguments: While most gh commands require specific identifiers (like a number or URL), development efforts are ongoing to allow some commands to detect the current branch automatically to simplify usage [1]. If you experience unexpected behavior, such as a PR closing without being merged, it may be related to specific repository settings, merge conflicts, or intermittent issues with the GitHub platform or CLI version [4].
